I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and long weekend with your family. The Valentine spirit is still lingering here at Steele. Students are adding to our Kindness Tree each day, showing off all of the random acts of kindness they’ve experienced. We also hung our community Valentine project in the hall. Check out the pictures here.
Steele still needs in-person volunteers for both kiss & drop as well as lunch recess supervision. All in-person volunteers must obtain a free background check.
Kiss & Drop Volunteers:
Steele is still looking for volunteers to help with Kiss & Drop from 8-8:15AM on Mondays and Fridays. Sign up on Membership Toolkit! This is an easy volunteer opportunity for parents who are already at drop off. It's only 15 minutes but will make the world of difference for keeping arrival safe and smooth. To sweeten the deal and make your life easier as a volunteer, Mrs. Rosenberg has secured 3 parking spots for Kiss & Drop volunteers for Mondays and Fridays (two spots are in the teacher parking lot, and one is in the side lot by the dumpsters. All spots are marked)! Knowing how challenging mornings are for families, too, hopefully this will make it easier for you to help with the Kiss & Drop process!
If you are available to volunteer at Kiss & Drop on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, that would also be very helpful. There is no Membership Toolkit sign up for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. If you are available impromptu, just show up and lend a hand, or you can let us know which days you're available. For these days, there are two marked volunteer spots reserved in the teacher parking lot for that morning's Kiss & Drop helpers.
K/1, 2/3, and 4/5 Recess Volunteers: The Steele staff could still really use the support of additional adults during recess to help supervise. Here is a testimonial of a satisfied volunteer, "It's less than an hour. I get to be outside and see my child. It's an easy in and out, and helping out feels good!" You heard it here! Volunteering is fun! If your schedule allows, please consider signing up for the same day every week or multiple times a month. If you need more flexibility, sign up for when you can. Sign up on Membership Toolkit!Thank you!
